Hamilton Picks Up Aces in Massive Pot

Tim McFarland was in the hijack with a raise of 6,000 in front of him before Mary Anne Schroer reraised to 20,000 on the button. Trevor Hamilton then moved all in from under the gun and McFarland folded as action went back on Schroer. She took a few minutes before calling with a nearly identical stack.

Mary Anne Schroer: A♥K♠ All in
Trevor Hamilton: A♦A♠

Hamilton had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to take the massive pot as the flop came 5♠Q♠7♠. Hamilton also picked up a flush draw, while Schroer got some hope on the K♥ turn. The river, though, was the 10♣ and Hamilton took the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Hamilton's remaining 88,000 had Schroer's 85,000 barely covered, sending her to the rail.
